Abstract: We develop the notion of higher Cheeger constants for a measurable set OmegasubsetmathbbRN. By the k-th Cheeger constant we mean the value [h_k(Omega) = inf max {h_1(E_1), dots, h_1(E_k)},] where the infimum is taken over all k-tuples of mutually disjoint subsets of Omega, and h1(Ei) is the classical Cheeger constant of Ei. We prove the existence of minimizers satisfying additional "adjustment" conditions and study their properties. A relation between hk(Omega) and spectral minimal k-partitions of Omega associated with the first eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is stated. The results are applied to determine the second Cheeger constant of some planar domains.
